"Wednesday night, after lingering
illness, at her home, corner Of Court
and Third ~ts Mrs. Frank was eX-
tensively known in this country,
having for many years given a per-
sOnal supervision to her business.
She was very industrious woman
and will be sadly missed. She
leaves a husband and several child
rem. She was a very charitable
lady; the needy always found relief
az her hands. No one suffering for
WHnt, ever went empty handed from
her door. AS was said OF another:
The sick she soothed. the hungry fed,
Badc care and SORROW ny,
And loved 20 raise the downrast head
pi fricndlc~~ poverty.
The remains were taken to Cinein-
natl for Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.
Mrs Frank was a resident Of Salina
a few years ago, and the many

Il is whispered ON the streets that
there Is a great deal Of monkey bus
iness in the tardy completion Of the
new school buildings, and all for n
purpose. Arrangements are being
made and are about completed to re-
lieve the pressure ON the schools
and accommodate all for an indefi-
mite period. To that end Mrs.
Smythe, one Of the unemployed
teachers was put at work on Thurs
day. other arrangements will be
made next week. We see no reason,
If everything il all right, why the
completion Of these buildings should
hang fire many days longer.

Color Blindness in Germany.

Some interesting results have been
yielded by an extensive investigation
into the prevalence of color blind
ness OH German railways. The inquiry
which lasted several years-the latest
data having been obtained on July l,
1SS6-was extended to seventy-nine
railways OF 104,743 persons tested
from April l, 1882, to July 1, 1886, $50,
or 81 per cent, were found to be color
blind. OF 239. 726 persons tested up to
July of last year, 1884, or 81 per cent.
were color blind, while of 145, 456 Of
ficers and servants employed on the
seventy-nine railways on July l, 1856,
100 were entirely and AL partially
color blind, u percentage of 81. The
methods of testing were chiefly the Still
ling method (by means of color plates)
and the Holmgren method (by means
of colored wooden threads; but the
Daae, Cohn, Schmidt and Rimpler
methods were also adopted. In 16, POI
cases the test was repeated, and SOC
times did the results differ from former
results. The officials of German rail
ways who are color blind have been
given duties in the discharge of which
their incapacity can have no i'll result,
so that there is no danger in their con-
tinued employment-PGH Mall Gazette.

A CHILD'S IDEA OE DEATH.

AS lily bud, broke from its STEM will decay,
So white, wan and dropping dying boy lay,
With a far-away, questioning look in his eyes,
AS though he'd unveil the mysterious skies.
For moment he lay in that stiffness that brings
The warning approach of the rustling of wings
Then, suddenly, rousing with short, gasping
breath,
He said to his mother: Mamma, what is
deathY'
She stifed the sob and the sharp, cruel pain
The question evoked; but how to explain,
When death stood beside her just waiting to
grasp
With pitiless fingers her child from her clasp?
But noting his anxiously listening stare,
She smothered her agony hid her despair;
And, thinking to shield him from deaths rude
alarms,
She tenderly clasped him as safe, in her arms.
And asked him: MY darling, what think you
is deathT'
Awaiting his answer with bated breath:
1t came very slowly, his eyes growing dim
An, surely the angels were whispering to him.
"'Tis falling asleep by the roadside" he said
And YEARLY laid on her bosom his head.
As only mother can weep, so she wept,
But he on lifes roadside now quietly slept.

POISON ON THE WALL.
The Danger Lurking in CareIessly- Made

''Do you mean to say that you used

"Yes, doctor"
"Well, | can hardly pity you. A
man ought TO know enough not to use
such cheap grade of green paper, es-
pecially on the walls of his sleeping
rooms"
MY wife bought it." explained the
man.
WELL" returned the doctor, you
will know better next time. 1t is ex-
tremely fortunate that none of your
family died of the poison"
This man." remarked the doctor,

wall paper, whatever its color may be,
that does not contain arsenite of cop

wall paper is skillfully made there is
no danger of poison. 1t is only those
kinds that are SO carelessly prepared

who live in the room. 1t is not alone

SUNkEN VESSELS,
Description of the Process Employed in
Raising Them.

The dead weight of the vessel was set
down at 1000 tons, and she had on
board when sunk, cargo to the extent
of l, 400 tons. Some of the latter had
been lifted, but on the other hand it
was estimated that this had been more
than compensated by the silt that had
drifted in, so that the weight to be
raised was put down at 1900 tons. The
first steps were to set about making the
cables and to purchase four lifting
hulks. These were capable of raising
500 tons each, so that there was but 20C
tons left as margin of safety; factor,
however, which has necessarily often
very modest proportions in wrecking
operations. Two vessels are of iron, while
two are of wood. The ropes consisted
of flexible steel wire made into strops of
various lengths from two to twenty
fathoms, in order to facilitate opera
tons by giving greater ease in
handling. The ropes are made of six
strands, each strand consisting of
thirty-seven steel wires The lifting
ropes are passed round the wreck by
divers and see-sawed into the required
spot. The hulks are strengthened in
all directions by internal timbering. SO
as to withstand the nip brought on
them when the wreck is being raised.
The outside of the hulks are protected
by wood packing faced with iron. The
blight of the main lifting ropes being
passed under the wreck are hitched
over the hulks by means of the strops,
the latter being secured by clamps.
The hulks in rising with the flood will
carry the wreck clear off the bottom.
Guided by couple of tugs the whole is
carried into shallow water.-Engineer-
ina
